Velvet Donkey Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Baynham not on the bench again..I can't even remember him getting injured, and hasn't been mentioned on the casualty list. Not sure when we should expect Grant and Quitingo to join full training either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure when we should expect Grant and Quitingo to join full training either. He apparently got a head knock in the game v QoS (I think). It must have been one serious head knock (I hope not). There was one report that he had returned to training but the secret society rules again. Not even a match preview this week. The "mushroom principle" of communication is turning me right off. I am not attending any games until the club treats its fans with respect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf Stamp Army Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 As an aside, Michael Doyle giving his captain's armband away is outstanding, whoever came up with that. I'll be down there on Saturday, pushing the weans out the way. One of our so called 'fans' was giving Michael Doyle stick for giving away free kick that led to Alloa equaliser [emoji2959]Some of our support should be permanently locked down... Wonder who set up our goal [emoji848] 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood why any individual would want to 'sponsor the jersey' of some squad ringer anyway, in addition to paying for everything anyway by attending games. St Johnstone have had this scheme for years and the majority of the squad were sponsored by fans. As well as having their name in the programme each week there was an end of season player sponsors night where they had a meal with the player and then and had a picture being handed the shirt. Our rate went from £260 plus vat to £500 plus VAT this summer which has pissed off a lot of fans but is totally aimed at the commercial market. I have seen a screenshot of a reply by one of the team asking a fan why they were not involved in sponsorship and the player himself was surprised at how much was being asked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player and fan have become friends over the years of the sponsorship so the fan had said in a facebook conversation that unfortunately they would not be his shirt sponsor this season, which prompted the question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Falkirk you can sponsor a player's home or away top for £450+VAT. Or player's boots, or goalkeeper's gloves, or captains armband for £200+VAT. Coaching staff for £300+VAT. Similar rewards as above. I'd say the majority are filled each season and it must make the club a fair bit of money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more in the final third. We really should be sitting on twelve points instead of eight. No idea when Quitongo is back, so if Murray gets injured we’ll be carrying very little threat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder who set up our goal It was a fair tackle imho but the match ref seemed to penalise anyone who put in strong tackles. Thought Mike had one of his best games for us so far. I always feel that fans who shout at players and/or endlessly at the ref haven’t had the experience of playing a competitive game. Thankfully a very small minority. I hope the players are feeling the positive energy from the fans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Your Own Socks Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 We’ll done to The Hoopettes for their first win of the season.

Have I got this right? One of the issues that led to the meeting being held was poor communication and a lack of openness from the club. They have resolved this by having a meeting with members only and sworn them to secrecy. Excellent 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTQP1867 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Does seem bizarre - what matters can be that "sensitive" at a football club? Also don't like "we were told to" which smacks of Dictatorialism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
